kinda messed up how "doing jack shit" and "not doing jack shit" mean precisely the same thing

"Every year American cities and states spend up to $90 billion in tax breaks and cash grants to urge companies to move among states. That’s more than the federal government spends on housing, education, or infrastructure. Since cities and states can’t print money or run steep deficits, these deals take scarce resources from everything local governments would otherwise pay for, such as schools, roads, police and prisons"

In relation to #amazon receiving $1billion in tax relief for its NYC HQ2

@VeintePesos i still remember last year when the talks of the fires causing the deaths of 8 people were the result of PG&E not maintaining their powerlines was sparking furor; suddenly the conversation in the media shifted to smokers and how cigarette butts can start fires.

@VeintePesos I still have some. Notice the lack of bar code. I even have some acid blotter art on my wall ✊️

@VeintePesos Of course! that would be The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers!! ✊

@VeintePesos Where I live we have national healthcare and it's amazing. I'm not even on it right now, but it keeps prices so low it doesn't even matter. US healthcare is the most expensive and worst in the world. It's a murderous racket and everyone involved in perpetuating it should burn for a thousand lifetimes.

California skies are shrouded in smoke as the #CampFire continues to rage. The fire has been fueled by dry conditions & Santa Ana winds. Our @NASAEarth satellite captured this image on Nov. 14—actively burning fires are shown as red points. https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/goddard/2018/california-shrouded-in-smoke-from-the-ongoing-camp-fire?utm_source=TWITTER&utm_medium=NASA&utm_campaign=NASASocial&linkId=59702453 

when your smart TV detects the phrase "kill the president" so it tells your home automation system to lock all the doors and starts playing calming music while SWAT is deployed to your location

@VeintePesos @rick_777 firstly those resources are public, mirrored elsewhere, and government is the most conservative entity in the country next to churches...

Step one: Cooperate. Get together with friends, find out how you can spend less by providing each other with goods and services for the community.

Step two: Wean yourself from capitalist giants. Mastodon is the perfect example. We're not depending on advertisers anymore.

Step three: Fight against the banks.

Whoops. We're still stuck on that one. If only there were some kind of currency that allowed us to perform transactions without banks...

And now you know why crypto currencies are big.

So the system exploits you and forces you to depend on it, making you more and more poor.

At the end, all your effort, all your extra hours of work, all your tears, all your exhaustion, is wasted because you keep sending the money to the very same bastards who exploit you.

The big question is... how can we subvert the system?

@VeintePesos we're all dirt, now
